After the Great War, everyone's excitement reached a peak because they achieved the impossible and saw a day that they thought would never happen.
Ning Gu originally wanted to go to the old shopping mall to look at the nails, but he heard that many people were looking for the savior who would lead them to "find the exit" and get a new life in the main city.
"Later," Ning Gu sighed, "It's too scary."
"I'll take you there in the A01," Lian Chuan said, "Go in mid-empty places where there are few people."
"No, Lei Yu just said, now that there is a shortage of energy, we need to protect the life of the main city and rebuild it," Ning Gu said, "Don't waste it casually."
"Send the savior to see a friend," Lian Chuan said, "how can it be called a waste."
Ning Gu raised his head and looked at him: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Lian Chuan smiled, and squatted next to him: "Then go later, the daylight will be closed in two hours, everyone has settled down, and I will definitely rest early today, and I am tired."
"Hmm." Ning Gu held his chin and looked in the direction of the main city, "What do you think will happen to the main city next? There are a lot of things to do. Cleaning up the city is just the first step."
"That's the business of Chief Su and Chen Fei," Lian Chuan said, "They know the main city very well, and know how to restore it and how to maintain it."
"Will it still be the same as before?" Ning Gu said, "All kinds of experiments, all kinds... After all, there is only one Betelgeuse, will they continue to want to make a second and third?"
"Who knows," Lian Chuan said, "People are always greedy. The generation of Fade Chen and Chief Su may have seen more, and their thoughts and choices will change. As for the next generation, one day we will experience what we have experienced. These will become a vague memory, and what people will think at that time, who knows?"
A few little bats came running back: "Want to watch the fun!"
"What excitement?" A group of travelers who helped clean up the Lost Valley immediately became interested.
Travelers are probably the most dynamic perpetual motion machines in the world, full of curiosity about everything at any time.
"The light thorns will be lit up again," said the little bat, "to symbolize new life. I said in a few days that this battle of destruction will be engraved on the light thorns, as well as the hero's name."
A group of travelers and bats went to the light thorn together.
While everyone was going to Guangxi to watch the excitement, Ning Gu and Lian Chuan entered the main city and went to the old shopping mall.
There are still many places on the road that have not been cleaned up. The large amount of black iron cannot be cleaned up by manpower. The main city has limited machinery to repair it. Just cleaning it up cannot be done in a few days.
But that's okay, now is the time.
There was a long, long time.
The traveler's stronghold in District C is almost finished. Several shopping malls are above and below ground, and there are vacant shops in the old commercial district. Many half-collapsed houses have been simply repaired and people have already lived in them.
For travelers, such a house is much more comfortable than their house in a ghost town, and they don't have to worry about being blown away by the wind.
"I'm going to find one too." Ning Gu was a little excited, walked into a room and looked around, "This one is big."
"Yeah." Lian Chuan walked in, "It looks bigger because it collapsed."
"It's bigger than my hut in the ghost town." Ning Gu walked around the house, the things in the house had already been robbed by the refugees in the chaos, not even a chair leg was left.
"I can live in my dormitory." Lian Chuan said.
"Aren't you with me?" Ning Gu turned to look at him, "You want to go back to the dormitory? You are not part of the cleanup team anymore, you are just a former hyena who was deported to the ghost town, you can still go back to the cleanup team dormitory?"
Lian Chuan waited silently for him to finish speaking, and then spoke after another two seconds: "I mean for the time being, you can live with me in the dormitory of the cleaning team, where the facilities are still there."
"Oh." Ning Gu recovered, "Why is it temporary?"
"Aren't you going to see the end of the world?" Lian Chuan said, "But it's okay if you change your mind."
"I'm going," Ning Gu walked out of the hut and walked towards the old shopping mall, "I... I guess I'm not used to staying in the main city."
"Yes." Lian Chuan followed him.
There are still some travelers in the old shopping mall who didn't go to Guangxi to join in the fun, and are counting supplies.
Seeing Ning Gu walking in, sister Qi screamed: "Ning Gu—"
Immediately after, the screams from all around rang out, and Ning Gu felt as if he had returned to the ghost town in an instant.
Sister Qi jumped out from a group of travelers who surrounded him, hugged him, and slapped him on the face: "Let's take a look, let's see, it's still the same, it hasn't changed at all!"
"Be gentle." Ning Gu covered his face, "Where's Nail? I want to see him."
"In the upper room." Sister Qi still patted his face happily, and then patted him hard on the shoulders and arms several times. "I just moved him up after packing it up."
Just as Ning Gu was about to go up the stairs, sister Qi stretched out her hand in front of Lian Chuan again: "Little trumpet."
Lian Chuan wanted to hide, but after hesitating for a while, he held on and did not hide.
Fortunately, Sister Qi still had some scruples about the trumpet of the first hyena in the main city, and she was not as familiar with Ning Gu, so she just patted him on the arm twice: "It's been hard work, take a good rest these two days."
"En." Lian Chuan responded.
Amidst the unbridled cheers and screams of the travelers, Ning Gu and Lian Chuan quickly ran up the stairs to the second floor.
The second floor is relatively quiet, only some slightly injured travelers are resting, as well as Old Eighth Uncle and a few travelers with healing ability.
"Come on," Old Eighth Uncle knew what Ning Gu was doing as soon as he saw him, and waved at him, "Here are the nails."
In a cleared hut, several layers of mats are spread on the floor, and the nails lie quietly.
Ning Gu squatted beside him, reached out his hand to touch Nail's forehead, pulled the hair on his forehead, and flicked it with his fingers again: "Nail, long time no see, do you miss me?"
"If he wakes up, he will probably cry when he sees you," Old Eighth Uncle said.
Ning Gu didn't speak, the light from his fingertips glowed and slowly wrapped around the nail.
"Will it work," he whispered, "E's ability has been withdrawn, why didn't he wake up?"
"From the day the puppets were made," Old Eighth Uncle stood behind him, "they never thought about waking up again. They were going to fight to the death."
"Like E." Ning Gu said.
"Well," Old Eighth Uncle sighed, "Maybe Nine Wings has a solution, Lost Path Valley may affect him."
If it wasn't for the inconvenience now, and Nine Wings was also injured, Ning Gu would have carried the nails to Lost Way Valley.
After wrapping the nails into a golden humanoid ball, he and Lian Chuan left the old shopping mall together.
When I got to the street, the light spurs went out.
There was silence all around.
Then the light thorns lit up again, and Lian Chuan heard cheers from afar.
Although he was far away and could barely hear the general idea, he could still hear the hysteria in these cheers.
Crying hysterically, laughing hysterically, shouting hysterically, all the survivors released their hysterical joy at this moment.
The family members who died, the companions who were never seen again, all the people who died in the fire.
Sadness is also released hysterically at this moment.
Ning Gu was a little empty, he had been tense all this time, every minute, every second, worried that he would lose everything he wanted to leave behind, worried that he would never see Lian Chuan again... He turned his head and glanced at Lian Chuan .
Now that everything ended so suddenly, he was suddenly in a trance.
"Where are you going?" Lian Chuan asked him.
"I don't know," Ning Gu said, "Do you know where there are paper and pens?"
Lian Chuan looked at him and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Ning Gu asked.
"Do you want to draw?" Lian Chuan asked.
"I don't know," Ning Gu said, "Anyway, I have more time now, and I want to save something."
"Paper won't last long, it's too easy to break." Lian Chuan said.
"Then I want to write down my affairs," Ning Gu said, "What should I do?"
"Go to my dormitory," Lian Chuan said, "There is a recording device, you can write or draw whatever you want, and it can be stored in the system."
"Does it not exist in the system?" Ning Gu asked, "I don't trust the system."
"It's engraved in the Valley of Lost Way." Lian Chuan said.
Nine Wings' wings have been removed and disassembled into small pieces of raw materials. He is drawing the design of the new wings in the air with his fingers.
"What's the meaning of drawing the air?" Ning Gu looked at the fleeting cold light dragging a short tail in the air.
"The meaning is that you two go away and don't bother me." Nine Wings said.
"It's settled about Nail. I'll bring him here after Lost Valley restores order," Ning Gu said, "You think of a way."
"You don't need to wait for order to be restored, there is an order in Lost Valley," Nine Wings said, "There is only my tyranny in Lost Valley."
"Then when you start tyranny, think of a way." Lian Chuan said.
"My tyranny has never stopped!" Jiu Yi roared, "I have always been very violent!"
"Then now." Lian Chuan said.
"Why are you as annoying as Ning Gu?" Jiu Yi said, "You couldn't even hiccup before."
"It's settled." Lian Chuan said.
"Let the traveler bring him here and put him in the chanting shaft, maybe it will be useful, but I'm not sure." Nine Wings squatted back on his black iron plinth, "Tell me, what else is there. "
"I want to leave some information in Lost Valley." Ning Gu said.
"What message," Jiu Yi said, "do you pee? It's forbidden to defecate anywhere in Lost Valley."
"Is there any place in Lost Valley that can keep things forever?" Ning Gu asked.
"Keep what?" Nine Wings asked.
"Use and defecate." Ning Gu said.
"Do you want to have a taste of tyranny!" Nine Wings roared.
"...I'll wait for you outside." Lian Chuan turned and walked out.
The boss was near the Lost Valley recently. Lian Chuan walked out of the cave and saw it lying in a small cave and taking a nap.
"Boss." Lian Chuan walked in and squatted next to it.
The eldest opened his eyes, and wrapped his tail around his ankles.
"I'm going to leave for a while in a few days," Lian Chuan said, "I don't know how long it will be."
The boss sat up and sniffed on his hand.
"Ning Gu wants to go out and have a look," Lian Chuan said, "I'll go with him... Maybe there's nothing to see in this world, just a main city, but I still want to see it."
The boss blew air out of his nose.
"Don't worry," Lian Chuan said, "I still keep the claw you gave me, it can be regarded as a talisman."
The boss shook his ears.
Lian Chuan hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of its ear, and stroked the hair on the tip of the ear.
The boss looked at him.
"Ning Gu asked me if I've ever touched the little knob on the tip of the boss's ear," Lian Chuan said, "I really don't remember if I did, and I didn't expect him to ask me this."
The boss lay back on the ground, yawned, and pushed his paw on his leg.
"I'm not saying goodbye to you," Lian Chuan said, "I'm just saying."
"Lianchuan!" Ning Gu shouted from outside.
The boss let out a series of breath sounds from his nose.
"Here." Lian Chuan stood up and walked outside the cave.
"I thought you..." Ning Gu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him, "Nine Wings asked us to go to the coffin, he said that it is not in our world, nor in our time."
"Well," Lian Chuan nodded, "I also think it's only there."
When going to the fat figure 8 hole, Ning Gu reached out and grabbed Lian Chuan's hand.
"I can't lose it." Lian Chuan said.
"What do you care about me?" Ning Gu glanced at him.
"Have you figured out what to draw and write?" Lian Chuan asked.
"No," Ning Gu said, "We'll think about it when we get there."
"How do you draw and write?" Lian Chuan asked again.
"I don't know!" Ning Gu shouted.
"Don't learn from Nine Wings." Lian Chuan said.
"You draw, you write," Ning Gu said, "Just do what I say."
"Yeah." Lian Chuan smiled.
This cave hidden in the depths of the Lost Valley, has gone through such a big war, and it is still the same without any changes.
It’s still the opening, it’s still the dark void that can’t see the edge, and it’s still the blue sky and white clouds.
Ning Gu looked up for a while, then raised his hand.
A small golden ball of light glowed from the fingertips, flew out of the opening, floated into the darkness, and then hovered in the air, motionless as if frozen.
At this moment, it seemed that this small ball of light was pulled out of their world, and there was a long distance.
Ning Gu stared at the light ball for a long time, then turned around: "You seem to be unable to write for me?"
"Yes," Lian Chuan raised his hand and grabbed his hand, "tell me, what do you write?"
"Hello, my name is Ning Gu." The golden light glowed from Ning Gu's fingertips, like a stream flowing in the sun, and as Lian Chuan slowly moved his hand, he wrote, "I The person next to him is called Lian Chuan."
I don't know what the purpose of writing these things is, and I don't know who will see these things in the future or before, I just want to remember them.
We kept our own world, we didn't destroy it.
I don't know how it all started, and I don't know if it's over, but we're still here.
Some people fight, some people die, but we are still there, we can cry, we can laugh, we can be sad, we can be scared, we can be happy, we can be sad, no matter what happens, we are still there.
We will always be there.
"Draw me." Ning Gu looked at the golden row of words in the darkness.
Lian Chuan didn't move his hand.
"Quick," Ning Gu said, "Draw me."
"Do you think I know everything?" Lian Chuan said.
"You don't know how to draw?" Ning Gu glanced at him, "Then what confidence did you have to laugh at the city logo I drew when you were in the ghost town?"
"Just because I can't draw doesn't mean I can't laugh at you." Lian Chuan said.
"Then what should we do?" Ning Gu raised his hand, "I still want to draw the two of us below."
"... If you don't mind," Lian Chuan said, "I'll try."
"I don't mind." Ning Gu said, "I won't laugh at you."
Lian Chuan took his hand and drew a circle under the golden words shining in the dark.
"What is this?" Ning Gu asked.
"Your head." Lian Chuan said, took his hand again, and drew a vertical line under the circle, "Your body."
Ning Gu was silent.
Then Lian Chuan drew four small lines on both sides of the vertical line.
"My arms and legs." Ning Gu said.
"Yes." Lian Chuan said and took his hand to draw an identical one next to him, "This is me."
"Can I take it back?" Ning Gu said.
"Take back what." Lian Chuan asked.
"I don't laugh at your words." Ning Gu said.
"No, it's too late." Lian Chuan said.
"There must be a difference between us, right? Who can tell which is me and which is you?" Ning Gu was speechless.
Lian Chuan moved his hand, and under the two "portraits", "Ning Gu" and "Lian Chuan" were written.
"This will tell the difference." Lian Chuan said.
"If this thing is found in other worlds, other saviors, other bugs, other things," Ning Gu said, "if they see it, will they think that people in our world... look... a little... "
"As long as we know it ourselves." Lian Chuan said, "Is there anything else to draw?"
"... no more drawing," Ning Gu said, "do you have anything to write?"
"No." Lian Chuan let go of his hand.
"Wait," Ning Gu pulled his hand over again, "Write something casually, I don't want to be the only one here to say something."
"Okay." Lian Chuan thought for a while, grabbed his hand, and wrote another sentence below a few lines.
The world is not over.
